Athena the greek goddess is wisdom, war ,the arts ,industry, justice , and skill. She was the favorite child of Zeus.
Born from Zeus, King of the Gods, and only by him. She had sprung fully grown out of her father's head.
Athena's mother was Metis, Goddess of wisdom, and also Zeus first wife. In fear that Metis would bear a son mightier than himself. Zeus swallowed her and she began to make robe and helmet before the time of Athena's birth.
The hammering of the helmet cause Zeus great pain in the form of headaches and he'd cry out in agony.
Athena has no children.
The city of Athena is named after her for her being such a strong warrior. The Parthenon is her best-known and best-presented, temple.
Athena's weakness: Reason rules her; she's not usually emotional or compassionate but she does have her favorite such as Amazing hero Odysseus and Perseus.
Athena grew very fond of Odysseus and helped him whenever she could on his long journey home.
One of Athena's epithets ( titles) is "grey-eyed". Her gift to the greeks was the useful olive tree .
The underside of the olive tree's leafs is the grey, and when the wind lifts the leaves, it shows Athena's many "eyes".
Athena's shield. The shield has medusa' s face on it because Athena killed her and now uses the shield to show what she has done.
The owl is Athena's sign. when you see an owl you know athena's around.

My name is Athena. I am the daughter of Zeus ,and Metis. I was born from Zeus and only from him. He swallowed me whole. She was born from his forehead. The birth gave him excruciating pain, and a terrible headache, But once it was all over I became the perfect Goddess.
I used bright, tropical colors for Athena, because she us the Goddess of arts. So i thought using bright colors would explain more of her personality.Work Cited
